The Greatest

Oh ye of little faith
how little do we have
how great we claim to be
when we are a stumbling block

The greatest is the least
coming as a child
humble before our neighbor
humbly before God

So clearly aware
of our utter nakedness
our unworthiness to come
to come before our God

May we walk ever
with our eyes open
seeing the plank in our own
not the dust in our neighbor’s.
